Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Gov. Hill was
the principal speaker at Democratic
ratification meeting in Brooklyn to-
night. In the course Of his address he
said:
Three years ago the electors of the country
ment in the hands of the Democratic party.
The trust reposed in it has been faithfully
fulfilled. The country has had the benefit of
a wise, safe, honest and economical admins
all that is expected from any political
party. The laws have been impartially
enforced, the revenues have been faith
fully collected, the standard of official in
tegrity has been raised, the navy has been
purified in its methods and strengthened in
its resources, and its foreign relations, the
peace as well as the honor of the country,
have steadily preserved. What star route
frauds have fiourished during this admins
tration? Not one. How many acres of the
road corporations? Not a single
acre. The records show that during
Republican rule there were 154 1888, 1874
acres of the public lands given away to cor.
porations. rather than reserved for actual
settlers, while during the past three years
1924, 4s1 acres have been actually reclaimed
and restored to the people by the present ad-
ministratiOn. What scandals have disgraced
any Of the departments of government?
There have been none. Fraternal relations
have been restored between all sections of
the country, and all era of genuine peace
and prosperity is at hand. The sterling in
tegrity, the always dignifed behavior, the
high character and honest purpose of Presi-
dent Cleveland are conceded by the fair men
of all parties. In the light of
THREE PROSPEROTS YEARS
of Democratic administration how vain seem
the predictions in which our opponents in
dulged. They predicted disaster to all our
material interests Our manufactures were
to be destroyed, the country was to be ruined
by free trade, the confederate debt was to be
assumed, the federal debt was to be repudi-
ated, the rights of the colored people were to
be jeopardized. To-day witnesses the abso-
lutte failure of all the forebodings of our ad-
versaries. The country positively refuses to be
ruined, even to oblige our Republican friends.
1t obstinately insists upon being prosperous.
Our commercial agencies everywhere report
renewed confidence and increasing trade,
and while such clever partissns as Mr.. Depew
are predicting and hoping for commercial
panic in order to embarrase Demo
cratic administration of the treas
ury and to provoke hostile criticism
of Democratic policy among business men,
nevertheless the welcome panic fails to come
This is the usual period when annual South.
ern outrages are reported for the benefit OF
the Republican newspapers. But even they
have failed this year to respond to the urgent
demand for their appearance. AS whole
the Democracy have met the just expecta-
tons of the people, and are entitled to their
continued confidence.
EX-GOV. HOADLY,
of Ohio, also spoke. He said the Repub-
loan party at present consisted only of
bloody shirt and protection. Their
motto should be ''With Malice Toward
Ali and Charity for None" He also
denounced the Henry George party, and
said that the Republicans would make
the rich richer and George men would
make the poor poorer. Several local
candidates also spoke.
